<br clear="none">
1)&nbsp; In the screenshots for YouTube videos that purport to support that there are multiple episodes of a show the videos are clearly marked as unlisted.&nbsp; Unlisted videos are not technically publicly available on the platform.&nbsp; Each of the videos had between
 1 and 4 views.&nbsp; Not hundreds, thousands or millions.&nbsp; Single digits. How was that not clearly fake?&nbsp; this was processed in 2020<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
2)&nbsp; Another specimen is clearly a picture where the mark has been transposed on a generic journal.&nbsp; Like a notebook you buy at the store.&nbsp; I am shocked it was accepted.&nbsp; this was processed in 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
In both instances I cannot find any evidence of actual use on the internet, or on YouTube years after the videos were purportedly uploaded.&nbsp;<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Both marks are within the initial 5 year window.&nbsp; Is my client's only option to cancel the marks?&nbsp; &nbsp;Is there another option so that my client doesn't have to incur costs?&nbsp; Also, couldn't the registrant start using the marks now once notified of the cancellation
 effort?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
thanks in advance!&nbsp; Hope to meet some of you at the INTA reception.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Best,</span></p>
